Nothing More Dangerous by Allen Eskens

5.0

Allen Eskens gives us insight into a teen-aged boy's growing up process in 1976, in a small town where a perceived shift in racial parity brings out the best and worst in people. The story is well-paced, thoughtful, and compelling - a page-turner. Eskens portrays his characters - kids and adults - in a way that doesn't allow us to conclude that this story is a product of its time and place. It's relevant to this time and to in any community in America, large or small.
